Spain is full of festivals. The weather, food, Heritage and its people makes this country a wonderful place to show all kinds of music.
If you like bag pipes, we have the perfect event for you: Ortigueira Festival in Galicia (July 16-19)
Galicia is the north western region of Spain, famous for being the end of the St James Way. This part of the country is quite undiscovered, even for the Spanish population.
You can go on your own or be part of our trips to Galicia.
At the Ortigueira Festival the music is all around. During the day the streets are full of bag pipes bands from Scotland, Ireland, Basque Country, Galicia, Brittany and the rest of Spain. Also, at night, at the main stage you will have the chance to listen to celtic music from bands like Capercaillie, Bagad Beuzeg, Sharon Shannon, Buidiño and many more.
